For (a), (b), (d), and (e), your options are: 66 inches, 72 inches, -1, +1.

There are three types of artillery used by the Continental Army, which consisted of cannons, mortars, and howitzers. The two main types of cannons are the field gun that was lightweight and mobile, while the heavy siege gun is larger and has limited mobility. The field gun fired a variety of rounds such as solid shot, grapeshot, and canister shot that has a flat trajectory. This would tear large holes in the opposing forces ranks, destroying personnel, and equipment. Solid shot was simply a solid cast-iron cannonball that had the least effective range unless it was rolling or bouncing. Grape shot was most commonly used for long range target with a kill zone of 600 yards. Grape shot was generally constructed out of a canvas bag, with lead or iron balls half the size of musket balls that has a wooden base, and center rod to help the artillery men handle the rounds. Canister shot is a thin metal cylinder filled with a massive amount

Though the location of the shooter at 250 yards is unknown, there are a few possibilities. At a range of

Objective: Using a marble launcher, launch marbles from different angles with different forces to find the maximum height and the velocity as it leaves the launcher. Using different variables and results to determine how the different angles and amounts of force effect the variables. With this data show the effect the forces cause in 1-D and 2-D motion, as well as in the X and Y directions. This is done through kinematic equations and calculations.

1. The ball has potential energy while momentarily at rest at the top of the path.

T= 40ms, I figured this by guessing cause I could not find any information on how to calculate. So I used the equation for t and plugged in different numbers until I got the 10ms that was already given in the table. t= T x 0/360= 40ms x 90/360= 0.01 x 10^-3= 10ms

The cannons shoot about 40 yards. There was many different kinds of cannon balls. One type is the shell. The shell was a solid iron ball used to destroy enemy things. Another type was the exploding shell.

When the speed of the ball increases to 100 mph or more, the launch angle goes up by two or three degrees until there’s an exit velocity of 116 mph. At that point, a ball with a launch angle of eight to 50 degrees is classified as barreled.

Matt Stutzman is a 33-year old man who holds the record for the longest distance shot of an arrow that reached its target. Amazingly, this man accomplished this feat from a length of 230 yards. What is even more astonishing, he did this all hands-free, as he was born without arms.

After it is released, the projectile obeys the laws of projectile motion, disregarding air resistance. Therefore, the range of the ballista can be given by the equation

The eye of a hurricane passes over New Orleans in a direction 60.0° north of west with a speed of 41.0 km/hr. Three hours later, the hurricane suddenly shifts due north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/hr. How far from New Orleans is the hurricane 4.50 hours after it passes over the city?

a) Find how long it takes for the basketball to pass the soccer ball in vertical height after the soccer ball was kicked off the ramp. b) How far from the floor were the two balls at that instant? c) Will the soccer ball go into the goals on the full (without bouncing)? Show using

J) The altitude decreased by 13 degrees since the previous observation, and the azimuth increased by 13 degrees.

The image ‘types of projectiles’ (2015) shows three types of projectiles. P1 is the projectile which has the movement only in vertical direction while P2 has more vertical and a little horizontal motion thus moving in two dimensions. P3 has both motions almost equal. Projectile has the characteristic of being under influence the force of gravity only. If the path of a moving object is affected significantly by some air resistance, the object is not a projectile any more. It is also not a projectile while at the source or when it hits something during its flight. A ball shown in the diagram below is not a projectile till the ball leaves the hands of the person dropping it or throwing it. The air resistance can be ignored at this point because the effect is not significant. It again seizes to be a projectile when it is in contact with the ground because the force of the reaction from the ground and the force of friction has come into action.

“A satellite orbiting the earth in a circular path stays at a constant altitude of 100 kilometers throughout its orbit. Given that the radius of the earth is 6370 kilometers, find the approximate distance that the satellite travels in completing 70% of one complete orbit.”
